So, if you want to "blame" someone for the silly name, it was the French...

You mean William the Conqueror and his folks?? That French pond scum?

I lived in WSM for 14 years and know the area well. The Mendips and Chedder are a good place to ride.

Do you know Dave Hobbs? Ex Blood biker from WSM and Andy Williams? He's as bent as a nine bob note but he's ok.
We'll be down in Taunton in April, come join us.

What happens, if you bet the bent nine bob note on the Weston Super Mare?

I'm waiting for the punchline......

I got nothing, but you have to admit "bent nine bob note" is a wee bit ............ WTF are you talking about? And, Weston Super Mare? How could any place come up with that name?

Just keep in mind, I come from a place with town names like "Bird-in-Hand" , "Blue Ball" , "Paradise" and "Intercourse". But, that's the sad result of Pious German Settlers that abstained from the demons of alcohol. There's no doubt they weren't missed by their former neighbors in the Old Country.

I grew up in Montgomeryshire, Wales and was delighted to discover the Welsh part of PA with plenty of Welsh names and Montgomery County in the middle of it

Welshmen were our early miners and SE PA had Anthracite Coal and, early on, Iron Ore mines. In those mines, the owner paid the miner who in-turn paid the laborers. The miner did the drilling and the blasting. The laborers dug and loaded the fractured ore/coal. Because of this structure, the miners and laborers were often in conflict and the mine owners usually hired miners and laborers from different communities to aid the friction. Just south and west of this mining region is PA Dutch region which was settled by Protestant Germans escaping the late 17th century turmoil and economic stagnation in Northern Germany following the 30-yrs war.

Voni is the unofficial Queen / Ruling Matriarch of pleasant thoughts and high mileage at the BMW MOA. She and her husband, Paul, spend their retirement years riding in North America and other continents. Many miles of smiles is something she would say.
